Technocracy seems to have a problem with three things.
-Incentive to work the full required time.
-Assigning value to things like entertainment, artwork, etc...
-Temptation to become lazy.
I have thought about such problems, and I believe that I have found the solution.
I Propose that a second, non-economic currency be established for such things. This social currency can be used for all services and items which are not necessary or not scientifically measurable. Although this currency may fluctuate in value, it would not be capable of hurting the economy.
-As a reward for working, one will recieve a bit of this social currency.
-This amount can change from occupation to occupation.
The benefits of this second currency would be just as scientific as energy accounting.
-This social credit would provide the extra incentive to work a little harder and choose a less popular job.
-Without earning social credit one cannot entertain oneself, this will solve all three problems. If one does not work he cannot recieve social credit and therefore cannot buy things such as movie tickets, paintings, premium cable, and other things that are not necessary for survival.
I do not see any flaws in technocracy if this second currency is added.
Please tell me if you do....
